Alright, so you wanna know about this Jamal Mashburn fella, huh? Well, lemme tell ya what I know, the way I know how to tell it. Don’t expect no fancy words or nothin’.
Jamal Mashburn, the basketball player, you know? He was born a long time ago, in 1972, on November 29th. They called him “Monster Mash,” which sounds kinda silly if ya ask me, but I guess it’s catchy. He played for a bunch of teams in that NBA thing – you know, the basketball league all them tall fellas play in.
He was a whatchamacallit… a “small forward.” Sounds like he shoulda been playin’ shortstop in baseball to me, but what do I know? Anyways, he was good at puttin’ the ball in the hoop. Scored a lot of points, they say. Played for 12 years, that’s a mighty long time runnin’ and jumpin’ if you ask me. He played for them Dallas Mavericks, and some other teams too, like the… uh… New Orleans Hornets, I think. ESPN, they got all the details if you really care.
- Born: November 29, 1972
- Nickname: Monster Mash
- Position: Small Forward
- Career: 12 seasons in the NBA
Now, after all that runnin’ around, he got smart. He didn’t just sit around watchin’ TV and eatin’ chips, no sir. He took all that money he made playin’ ball and started doin’ business. They say he’s got more money than you can shake a stick at. A hundred million dollars, can you believe it? That’s more zeros than I can count!
He’s got businesses all over the place. Papa John’s pizza places, steakhouses, car dealerships, even them Dunkin’ Donuts shops. Heard he’s got like a hundred of ’em or somethin’. Smart fella, I tell ya. He lives down in Miami now, where it’s warm all year round. Lucky duck.
This website, Celebrity Net Worth, they say he’s worth a hundred million bucks. HoopsHype, another one of them websites, says he made seventy-five million just from playin’ basketball. That’s a whole lotta dough! I could sure use some of that for fixin’ up the porch.
And you know what else? He’s a daddy. Got two kids. That’s nice. Family’s important, ya know? More important than all that money, if you ask me. Though, the money sure does help, I reckon.
Seems like he’s doin’ alright for himself. From basketball star to big-time businessman. Not bad for a fella they called “Monster Mash.” I still think it’s a silly name, though.
He also does that talkin’ thing, you know? Public speakin’. Goes around and talks to all them big company folks. Fortune 500, they call ‘em. Guess he’s got plenty to say, after all he’s done. And he’s got a website too, where he tells ya all about himself. If you care to look, that is. Me? I’m happy enough tellin’ you what I know, the simple way.
So, that’s the story of Jamal Mashburn, as best as I can tell it. Basketball player, businessman, rich fella. He seems like a good egg, though. Worked hard, made somethin’ of himself. Can’t fault a fella for that.
And there’s another Jamal Mashburn, his son, Jamal Mashburn Jr. He plays basketball too. For the Temple Owls, whatever that is. ESPN got his info too. Like father, like son, I guess. Basketball must run in the family.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make myself some supper. All this talkin’ about basketball and millionaires makes a body hungry.
